There was a restriction on every room. Although damaged now, the remaining traces still reflected the past glory. After half a day of exploration, Philip finally found an attic that looked different. Faint traces of restrictions could be found in the attic, and Philip found the room to be full of sword intent as soon as he entered. It was a completely different world in the room, but the sword intent did not attack Philip. Philip walked into the attic slowly. Although the interior of the room was simple, it was extraordinary too. The pictures and paintings on the wall revealed the power of countless rules that could drown someone at a glance. Philip saw the picture of a sword on the wall and was lost in it instantly. Philip saw a blood-red world with sword intent and sword shadows raging all over the sky. Philip felt as if he was right in the middle of it. For a brief moment, he felt that his body and soul were ripped apart, and Philip woke up. Philip trembled in shock.
By the time Philip opened his eyes, an hour had passed, and there was no injury on him. His wounds just now turned out to be hallucinations, which blew Philip’s mind. The Splitting Sword Intent was very powerful indeed, but everything in the attic had been reduced to ashes. However, something was left for Philip, and he found a trace on a broken stone tablet. [In Year 36, 027 of the primordial age, demons raged and a hundred races ran rampant. At my teacher’s command, I stood guard over the Verge Tower to protect the foundation of the human race…] This message was incomplete, but Philip still learned something useful. This ancient tower was Verge Tower, an artifact left behind by the human race, but unfortunately, it had been reduced to this dilapidated condition. It seemed that this was left by the predecessors of the human race when they first arrived from the ancestral land to the Starfall Continent, but there was no mention of what happened back then. Moreover, Verge
Everything was reflected in the mirror, which seemed to be a treasure but was now a part of Verge Tower. After taking a few glances, Philip set off for the next floor. As long as he controlled Verge Tower, all the treasures inside would be his. Just like this, Philip advanced several floors. He saw a world of ice and snow, a space full of fire, and a dark abyss. Philip found that Verge Tower was like a prison. However, Verge Tower also formed a world of its own, and every floor was full of life. Finally, Philip came to the tenth floor, which was the ocean world. The whole space seemed submerged in water with no sky in sight, and Philip felt a strong life force in the boundless water world. Philip did not expect to run into Sylvia's companion, Candace, in the canyon of an underwater chasm. The moment Philip appeared, Candace noticed him. Philip was mostly attracted by a huge crystal shining brightly with energy and light, and Philip immediately recognized it as a water sto
Philip had no time to dodge, and a black turtle shield appeared on his body. Bang! The attack hit him head-on. Although he was not injured, his blood surged. “Hmph, before you attack someone, you should find out who they belong to. How dare a chimera prince hurt my people?” The attacker was none other than Sylvia Shell. Philip said flatly, “Hehe, do you think your status is nobler than mine?” Sylvia scowled and said coldly, “This is the ancient dragon territory, not your chimera territory.” The threat was pretty obvious. Philip pursed his lips. He was not a real member of the chimera royal family but an imposter, so he was not afraid of her. This world was the survival of the fittest. Only the strong had the right to speak, and those with the biggest fists set the rules. “Hehe, I’ve weathered countless storms and am not afraid of a little girl like you.” Philip said with a chuckle, not taking Sylvia seriously at all. Sylvia was a pampered girl since she was a chil
The next moment, sword cries filled the space, and a splitting word intent appeared in front of Philip. Following Philip's movement, the sword intent disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Sylvia. The sword hummed constantly, and Sylvia was shocked. Energy emerged from her in defense. Even so, the sword intent pierced through Sylvia’s shoulder and wreaked havoc on her body. Candace quickly asked, “Your Highness, are you alright?” “I’m fine, but the chimera prince ran away. This is so annoying.” Sylvia said coldly, her body already injured. “Should I give chase?” Sylvia said coldly, “Don't chase after him. He has many tricks up his sleeve. You may not be his match. “It seems that my father is right. There are countless experts in the Starfall Continent, and I’m just a frog at the bottom of the well.” Candace said softly, “Your Highness, I don't understand. We can enter the tenth floor because we have this token. How did the chimera prince get h
Philip clearly saw his punch hitting the big roc without the slightest ripple. “That thing’s too strong, damn it!” Philip cursed angrily. He did not expect the big roc's defense to be so strong. Philip dared not hesitate. With a roar, his energy surged, and the whole space fluctuated. The next moment, Philip turned into a giant that was hundreds of meters tall with flames all over his body. It was the chimera manifestation. The space became hazy, burned by the flames of the giant chimera. Philip clenched his fists and punched the big roc. Boom! As the fist shadow fell, the space hummed and vibrated. However, Philip saw the sarcasm in the big roc’s eyes. The big roc simply stood motionless, waiting for Philip’s attack. Bang! The space shook, and energy fluctuations spread to the surroundings. Dust billowed within a range of several miles, and Philip saw the huge eyes of the big roc even more closely this time. The big roc flapped its wings. Philip felt a trem
Sword cries resounded throughout the space, full of monstrous sword intent and murderous aura! The big roc was looking at the sky with a hint of excitement in its eyes. A screech pierced through the sky! It seemed to be saying that this was interesting. Philip was exasperated. However, the big roc remained motionless and allowed the sword formation to cover it fearlessly. In the sky, the Chimera Sword Formation started spinning, and fiery red sword shadows fell from the sky. The red sword shadows illuminated the space for a moment. Clang, clink! With the sounds of metal collisions, the sword shadows hit the big roc, creating sparks. Seeing this scene, Philip was speechless, and shouted coldly, “Form!” The fiery red sword shadows continued to gather in the sky and formed a giant sword shadow that glowed with a sharp cold light as if it could tear the surrounding space. The big roc screeched as if it was taking this more seriously now, and a dark golden light app
Philip did not know that the big roc could speak. He had arrived on the 17th floor at this time. Sunlight shone brightly from the outside. This place was deep and terrifyingly silent. Philip found that this floor was smaller than the 16th floor, and it looked quite dilapidated. Philip could see the entire floor at a glance. It looked like a huge square with countless sealed stone boxes flickering with lights. Although Philip did not know what was inside those stone boxes, there was a sharp vibe radiating inside, letting Philip know that it must be a magic weapon or something similar. Philip reached out to pick up a stone box to see if he could break the seal on it, but no matter how Philip tried, the box remained motionless. It seemed this method did not work. Philip pursed his lips and decided to ignore it. After he controlled Verge Tower, maybe he could find a way, so why should he waste time here? The next moment, Philip's figure disappeared. When he appeared on the 18
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
